go to page 8 and start checking out page by page. You WILL be surprised how much carbs you actually eat.
Also, somehow, you do not sound very motivated about losing weight. Sort of annoyed about it.
By the way, I met today a long term patient of mine. She is #3 in my practice that had diabetes taken off her medical chart. She lost 100 lbs. Working on more.
So yes. Weight goes up, amount of glucose in blood goes up. Then more insulin is needed to control it. Insulin is anabolic steroid. As the result, weight goes up. Then more insulin is needed.
Should I keep going?

I'm not sure. What is your point?

Yes. I would like the explanation. Does losing weight reverse this? Not eating certain foods?

I'm no nutritionist, but I know two diabetics personally, who no longer need insulin after adopting a low carb diet. The resulting weight loss is part of the reason, but the lack of simple carbs keeps the insulin on an even keel.
I am talking simple carbs, like sugar, fruit juices and flour, not complex carbs, which are part of a healthy diet.

Carbs are energy. And most people can eat simple carbs and be fine if they are not gorging. Bread goes stale here often times. I never did have a big love for bread. I do like toast or a biscuit with breakfast but that is it. Or if I don't feel well I do the tea and toast thing.

Insulin is anabolic but NOT a steroid, it is a hormone. It is the glycogen storage hormone. When carbohydrates are consumed and insulin is present, the body will only rely on glycogen for its energy needs; this means we will not burn fat. The more carbs that are consumed, the more insulin that is released. When glycogen stores in the liver are not used up within a certain time period, they are converted to fat and stored. THIS is why low carb diets work the way they do.
There is at least one more part to it and that is Ketones and the whole idea behind the (controversial) Ketogenic diet. Very few if any of us are on true ketogenic diets. It is impossible to survive on meat and fat alone (for me anyway). Everything else contains carbs so the issue is the amount of carbs. I guess if I had to and was stranded in a place where nothing but meat was available I could, but that is not the case. Even then, the protein consumed would be converted to glycogen.
Yes, the body uses glycogen as its fuel of choice. However, if you are in a suitable caloric deficit and/or you're burning a lot of calories via exercise, your body will turn to its fat stores for energy thereby losing weight. I lost weight on a 55% carb plan and yes, a lot of the weight lost was fat.
